A high cap pistol with a red dot is so damned effective now out to 100 yards, maybe further.
I don’t see the need for a PDW now other than potentially having more powerful ammo. I love the M1 Carbine though… so small, light, and handy. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JaredGrey: Anyone have experience with a Recover Tactical braced chassis? I see that they are available, and my interest is piqued. I’m sure it’s been addressed, but I’ll add my .02 I have one for a Form 1’d G17.4 and a brace version for G17 sized P80 frames that I use with a suppressed RMR wearing G34 slide. Both make hits at distance faster and easier, but the RT20/20 setup feels kinda chunky. The Flux Raider looks like a much more compact and ‘smooth’ design, but at 1/8th the price and actually available, the RT20/20 is a good way to dip your toes into the chassis’d pistol game and see if you like it. I think there’s merit to it, but I take my SBR’d PS90 with a K can on road trips instead of the pistol chassis. The RT20/20 taught me what I wanted to learn, and didn’t cost a grand to do it.

But so is size, ease of concealment, etc. Depending on where people go during the day, what they wear, and their perceived risk, there are a ton of people out there carrying LCPs, J frames, etc because its easiest to carry around all day, despite the negatives of using a subcompact low capacity option.

A PDW isnt as important or useful as a good ccw and a lot of time and effort on training it. But I think theres a niche for them. Whether a suppressed Rattler in 300blk or a stocked pistol or whatever fits that medium spicy niche best depends more on you and your circumstances than anything else. |

I've run through this a couple times in the past and other than "which PDW do I think is coolest?", I can't come up with a good, practical solution for myself. I'll probably continue the pistol carry because it's hard for me to imagine what more I might need...from a practical standpoint.
If we are getting to the point that a legit rifle is needed, I'm carrying that. I don't think we will have a "transitionary period" where a PDW is a gap filling need. If you want the compact rifle - Maxim PDX in .300blk. Solid middle ground when available - PSA 5.7. Best solution not currently available:  |

The OG Skorpion in .32 ACP is still an amazing choice in this role. The Flux/B&T type chassis systems are very solid too when you consider the intended use.
The best gun in this category, hands down would be the B&T TP9 if they could improve the absolutely horrendous trigger. Why? It's tiny and weights nothing and it offers a lot of capacity in a small package that's designed around a suppressor. Anything in .300 or 5.56 is a great vehicle/office/whatever gun but a bit too much weight and bulk to carry in my opinion. I'm a huge MP5 fan but those too are just too big and you might as well pack a MK18 at that point. Circa 2005 I visited Czech Republic and noticed that in Prague the officers walking the streets carried a CZ75 in a holster, a .32 Skorpion on their weak hand side and they carried a MP5 with optic slung across their chest. I thought it was very illustrative of the concept of how each of those has a different niche. |

On my example I have a Surefire/modlite light mounted off the front sight base with a DS00 for redundancy and a ST07 switch for activation on the VFG.

During the Floyd riots cops who couldn’t or wouldn’t stop the mobs had no problem hassling normal people carrying rifles. If anything I think what you call a “transitory” period is becoming our new normal as millions come across the border, the economy continues to be meh and we all have to pretend everything is groovy. People arent going to take up rifles and fight back, but they will have to go to work or run errands in areas that have been ceded entirely to clown world. I think many believe PDW/PCCs are trying to be a do-all Swiss Army knifes. Instead of a dedicated tool for an extremely specific limited use. |

If you want the compact rifle - Maxim PDX in .300blk. Solid middle ground when available - PSA 5.7.

I don't think we will have a "transitionary period" where a PDW is a gap filling need. 100% agree It's either Boogaloo time or it's not Some of the time though, it’s just a random day, and you have to travel to one of your nearby shitholes. In my case, that would be Jackson, New Orleans, or Mobile. Filling specific roles in between pistols and a legit rifle is something manufacturers have been trying to perfect for 100 or so years. When the KAC PDW died, so did the concept of a PDW to me. With enough money and handjobs for favors you could probably source the parts to build your own, maybe. I have two esstac double gap Kywis in my truck with 147gr HST. That would 100+1 for my 2011. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fnforme: The OG Skorpion in .32 ACP is still an amazing choice in this role. The Flux/B&T type chassis systems are very solid too when you consider the intended use. The best gun in this category, hands down would be the B&T TP9 if they could improve the absolutely horrendous trigger. Why? It's tiny and weights nothing and it offers a lot of capacity in a small package that's designed around a suppressor. Anything in .300 or 5.56 is a great vehicle/office/whatever gun but a bit too much weight and bulk to carry in my opinion. I'm a huge MP5 fan but those too are just too big and you might as well pack a MK18 at that point. Circa 2005 I visited Czech Republic and noticed that in Prague the officers walking the streets carried a CZ75 in a holster, a .32 Skorpion on their weak hand side and they carried a MP5 with optic slung across their chest. I thought it was very illustrative of the concept of how each of those has a different niche. I’ve wanted an SBR’d and suppressed TP9 for as long as I can remember. Hearing about the terrible trigger, and the realization that it’ll never be FA, has kept me from dropping the coin for the gun, can, mags, and stamps though. |

With the can, mine is one of my favorite guns - terrible trigger and all. You aren't really using a PDW for a match-grade trigger, and while it is a (really) bad trigger, you don't notice it at the distances you are using a PDW at. It is quite expensive though. I can't argue that. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BillythePoet: Maybe not entirely germane to this discussion, but would anyone else be interested in a brace or chassis for Ruger Mk series rimfires? Not sure how you’d do a brace/stock, unless it was for the Mk 4 and replaced the takedown pin along with some kind of wrap around the grip. For the Mk 1-3 it would just be something to go around the grip with the stock coming off the heel of the grip. I’d love to hear what you have in mind if it’s something else though. |
